BOMOD-OK FALLS, SAGADA: What to expect

“This waterfall much better be worth it,” stated my buddy Tonet in between gasps as well as pants. We had not walked even a quarter of the distance yet our legs as well as lungs were already complaining hard. It was exhausting, to state the least. however the view on the method there was extremely encouraging. There we were, in the middle of the terraced hillside, planted with all kind of vegetables. The view was nothing short of spectacular.

Bomod-ok Falls is likewise called the huge Falls because, well, it is definitely bigger than Bokong Falls, one more prominent waterfall in Sagada. hidden deep in a valley, it takes an hour to two to get right here by foot from the primary road (and that’s just one-way). Bomod-ok’s cold, chilly water cascades from the top of a gorgeous naturally contoured cliff to a pool below, developing a 200-ft column of water as well as wonder.

The begin of the trip was easy. The concrete path that leads to the falls is really simple to walk on. It likewise provides visitors spectacular views of the terraces, the hills, the valley. It likewise enables a quick glimpse into the way of life of the community. On the method there, we realized exactly how difficult it must be to online right here — walking long distances. Yet, we came across locals, guy as well as women, who effortlessly trod in between rice paddies while bring sacks (yes, plural) of create on their back. We even satisfied a guy balancing a stack of timber on his shoulders as he made his method up. (Nahiya naman kami kay manong.) We saw kids planting crops, playing along the terraces, as well as singing while watching tourists pass by.

It was exhausting, yes, however none of it mattered. It was the type of “exhausting” that still kept us going, all the while understanding that a paradise was waiting on us at the end of the trail.

The path cuts across a little village. There are restrooms there as well as stores selling food as well as drinks. It likewise provides temporary shade as well as lots of chances to exchange stories about things encountered along the very first half of the trail.

After a drink as well as a few minutes of rest, we moved on as well as made our method further down the hill. From right here the path was steeper, as well as the believed of climbing back up was a bit bit terrifying. Still, we walked on as well as on, across more terraces, over a little stream, along the side of a cliff. though it got more as well as more tiring, the view got much better as well as better. The noise of water cascading to the pool was both interesting as well as encouraging.

Uite! Un râu! That’s a great sign, right?
Soon, we had our very first glimpse of the mighty waterfall. We wished to get a much better view of the falls so we hopped from one boulder to one more as well as let ourselves get drenched in the water that sprinkled when the water dove to the basin. small droplets of water got blown to my deal with as well as gathered on my eyelashes as I sat on one huge rock near the falls. I did not plan on swimming at the pool however it was so inviting. though the water was extremely cold, I understood that soaking in it would be the most refreshing part of the trip.

After over an hour of soaking, we agreed it was time to go. All we had to do was trace back our steps to the basketball court. like I said, the going down to the falls was the simple part. The trip back up made me do something I had never done before — vomit air.

If from every tired gasp, a gold coin would pop out of my throat then I would have been a millionaire by the time I reached our van. however I’d surely provide away all that gold anytime if it’s for Bomod-ok Falls to keep all its wondrous beauty. merită? You bet.
